I have no problems with clipping birds wings but I need to suggest some things. I suggest you hold the bird's body and keep the wing out with your index finger and thumb, that way you won't be pulling on the bird. And you also cut too far up. You don't have to listen to my advice, but I would rather you did.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I have had my Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot for 15 years. Up until now, I've always had someone to help the towel. So this will be the first time doing this by myself. Thanks again.
Tracey Ryche White You’re very welcome. But I advise you, do not do just one side of the way through bird will fly in circles and get all confused. It sounds funny to read, but in reality it’s really sad. Because the bird just has no idea how to correct itself. But I’m glad you got one site down and done. Congratulations. If you feel like you are having trouble or you don’t want to do the other side, take your break to a vet or to a pet store. It’s really important that they have equal wings on both sides. I’m not getting down on you, rather the opposite. I’m pretty proud of you. :-) Thanks for thanks watching all the videos and have a great day. Just.
BEAUTY The Conure not as painful as you might imagine. He was more distracted by the phone recording then by actually clipping the feathers. But thanks for your concern, and thanks for watching my videos. Have a great day.
wings grow back like hair does . so if you have a bird that fly's into walls into windows ceiling fans ect. your telling me it's not safer for the bird to have them trimmed? they can still glide to floors or when landing. I personally don't trim my african greys wings cuz he's trained by my cockateils will fly into things . so keep her cooped up in cage cuz she fly's into stuff or cut wings so she can roam outside cage ? I choose cut her wings for her safety and health. this comment if for the people who says it's mean to cut feather or it's like cutting our legs off.
Klynne Bingo. You're absolutely correct. It doesn't hurt at all. It's like fingernails on here. And you're not clip in the birds feathers so it drops. Your clip in the birds feathers so they slide. You are correct 100%. Love you,. And thanks for commenting. Have a great day. Jeff.
you don't know how much it impacts the bird health physicaly and mentaly. The body of a bird is designed to fly. It has a respiratory system and muscle that are powerful and because of that it needs to be used. Trimming wings make the bird unable to fly and so unable to do the important execice of flying for his body health. That can cause the bird to gain weigh and a muscular atrophy what can result some illnessdue due to a lack of exercices. The bird who can't fly anymore will also be stressed because he won't be able to do what he could always do( flying ). It will be very insecure on every perch because if it falls it falls and will lose confidence on itself and on it's owner.
I cut all the wings on my parakeets and they're happy as can be..they fly around in my house all the time..i leave their cage open and they come and go as they please..
Klynne it’s more of cutting the arms/legs than a haircut. It doesn’t give them enough exercise, and affects their mental health. He will also stop trusting you.
love the "steal your face" profile picture, haha. my grandma has the same breed of parrot. I'm getting my first little budgie this weekend and definitely plan on clipping his wings
My parrot passed away because a worker clipped her wing by holding her improperly and my bird twisted wrong and broke her wing badly. She ended up passing away in surgery on my birthday. A tragedy that could have been prevented by properly securing your bird during the clipping of its wings. Just something to think about
Oh my gosh, that sounds awful. I’m so sorry for the trauma that must’ve caused you. As you know, birds like animals and animals are like pets and pets are like family. I do agree with you 100% that it’s important to keep the birds mobile as possible and be very protective of the wing. Thanks for your comments and have a great day. Jeff.
You’re very welcome Tiffany. I’m glad this video helped. If you are unable to clip the wings comfortably, you can take him or her to a vet or even to a pet store. And once you see how they do it, you’ll be able to do it on your own. Or maybe you can just look at the video to her three times, I’m not really sure what would help you the best. But I am a strong supporter of clip in the wings because we lost our first period. We thought it was really cool for it to us fly around in the house and go from curtain to chair to other objects. And then one day the window was open like it always was and a bookshelf fell over in the bird got scared and flew out the window and we never saw her again. It was realReally tragic. So have a great day, good luck, and thank you so much for watching all my videos. Jeff.
Oh thanks God that you clipped only 5 feathers like I did with my budgie because he was hurting himself on the top of my wardrobe... I will let them regrow.
Keith Jackson You are absolutely correct Keith. That they repair did not want to have a twin is clipped. But she managed to get through it OK. The other time she’s been OK. I think she might’ve been freaked out a little bit by the video. There was me my wife and my granddaughter all in that little tiny bathroom and I think he freaked out sort of. Thanks for watching all the videos and have a great day. And also thanks for leaving a comment. Stay safe and healthy. Jeff.
Fortunately, there aren’t any predators inside ones house. And as far as being outside, you should never let your bird outside whether it’s clipped or not clipped. Unless it’s in a cage. And that’s not because it’ll fly way, but you’re right it’s because of predators. But it sounds to me like you’re not a fan of clipping bird feathers. So let me just give you an example or an analogy that I’ve been using, and I think it makes sense. We clip birds feathers so they don’t accidentally fly away. And so they don’t bump into objects in the house, or bang into windows. It’s the same principle as taking care of your goldfish. You wouldn’t take your goldfish to a lake let it out and then expected to swim back to the bowl. Thanks for watching my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
@jeffmaggie no you're analogy is more like clip the tipof the fins off the fish they will grow back but untill they do they can't swim properly and won't bump into the tank walls and if it went into a pond it would be even more of an issue. . Maybe you need to stick to non flying creatures maybe get a chicken...... flight is important for physical amd mental health in birds
Thanks so much for making this. I need to cut my Indian Ringneck's wings back, and I haven't done it in a while. I needed a refresher course; this was just perfect. I think your Amazon was actually very well behaved. I've seen what a really angry Amazon can do, and your guy was just fussing a bit. Both of y'all did fine. 😊
I've had my Amazon fly into windows so many times and I feel so bad about it and I'd love to take her on walks outside if I knew she couldn't fly away so I think I'm gonna try clipping her wings today I've always wanted to have a professional do it first but I just can't get my mom to take to the vet with me and I've had her for almost 2 years she needs her beak trimmed and nails trimmed as well but I don't think I can do that
I’m really glad you’re taking a health interest in your bird. As you know, it’s not very fun to run into a window. And if there’s an open window, you’re out of luck because you’re bored of flyway not know how to get that. So I applaud you for getting your birds that is Cliff either by professionals or by you. It’s not that hard. I don’t know if you have a parent or a parakeet. I have another video that has a parakeet on it. But either way, you need to do the outside three or four wings on it you need to do the outside 34 feathers on each side. Good luck and let me know how it went. Your friend, Jeff
Guys Can I explain step 1 don't clip birds WINGS step 2 they can cause infections I mean what if you don't know what the blood feathers are and the secondary WINGS and they might bleed so please don't do it my bird was so depressed and step 3 they will fall heavily and crash and get hurt step 4 birds can still escape and play cause they will catch a breeze so this it no clipping birds WINGS
My blue and gold macaw is fully flighted and has always been since he was a baby because I love him and if he did get out I'd have some relief knowing he could fly instead of getting killed by a cat or bird of prey, an easy better solution to this is teaching your parrot simple recall this way if they get out they will have the training and skills to come back, my macaw is free flight trained so I can let him fly free outside and he Is trained to come back aka free flight
OK, so this works for you. I’m very happy. Please listen carefully, this video is not for you. I repeat this video is not for you. You will never ever be happy if you clip your birds wings. And your bird is smarter than all the other birds to know where it lives. So for that I’m grateful. Continued success in keeping your bird full flighted as this video is only for people who have normal birds that will fly out a window or a door. And you’re right, nobody wants to get eaten by a cat or animal, but if you keep your flight feathers full, the bird might get scared, not your bird, but other people‘s Berg. So this video is really for the other people and I’m so sorry that you happen to cross against cross along this video. I wish you nothing but absolute continued success with your full flighted Bird and may you enjoy a happy healthy life with him or her. Thanks for watching my video. Jeff.
YOU ARE CLIPPING THE FEATHERS WRONG, YOU ARE CUTTING THE 1-4 AND THOSE ARE THE DIRECTION FEATHERS, YOU HAVE TO CUT THE 5-8 (THE RED ONES) BECAUSE THAT FEATHERS HELP THE PARROT FLY UP (SO THE BIRD CANT FLY TO THE SKY BUT AT LEAST HE CAN FLY NICELY TO THE FLOOR AND SAFE) AND IF YOU REALY LOVE YOUR BIRD YOU SHOULD BUILD AN AVIARY
Thanks for your comment. I do appreciate you leaving it. And I’m sure there’s more than one way to do this, but I found it by clip in the outer for it works very well for me. The outer for feathers for the flight feathers. You can tell this because when the bird has his wings tucked in you don’t notice any color disruption in the feathers. So I clip my birds feathers so they glide in a downward position as hard as they can fly and land about 5 feet in front. Doing any less would allow them to keep level flight and take it vantage of an updraft. But I like your way too. Thanks for leaving your comment, even though it’s all in capital letters. I’m assuming that you’re angry with me. And for that I apologize. I would keep clipping your feathers the same way you’ve been clipping them. You seem to have really good success with that and I support people that have good success with their animals. Have a wonderful day, take care, and thanks for watching all my videos. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie 4 years ago i cut some feather wings to my red lored amazon and put her in a mango tree but she hit the floor very hard and i didnt know how to do it and she think i can fly but she can die if hit the floor hard and a cat can kill her because she cant escape but one time it was a cat and she flu and landed 10 mts away from the cat and i rescued her and sorry for my english but i speak spanish and i learned how to do it from a veterinary and you can watch the video if you want RECORTE DE PLUMAS A UN LORO - VETERINARIO ONLINE ruclips.net/video/J5qxncp4dqo/видео.html in the minute 3:30 start explaining how to do it and then save to build a big aviary and now she is happy flying. AND HAVE A NICE DAY
CES Don’t worry about your English, it’s perfect. I understand everything you said. I’m trying to speak Spanish and that’s pretty hard. So I give you a lot of credit for speaking English. I agree there are many ways to do this. The way I found seems to be the best for me. For me, the idea is not to give her the opportunity to have level flight. But also you don’t want to cut the wings so the bird falls on the ground. What you’re looking for is it gentle dissent down to the ground in about 5 feet. The land on their feet are on the chest but at least they won’t fly out the window. I’d Meyer the fact that you worked in the veterinary clinic and I appreciate your advice. I will check out your link. Thank you for the kind comment in the advice and have a great day. And remember, your English is great. Bye, Jeff
Hi Cody, you’re right, many people do not like to clip their wings. And as long as you keep all the doors and windows closed, you’re in great shape. Oh the other thing is you need to carry Clorox wipes with you because the bird will poop everywhere in the house it lands. So clip in the wings is really good because it prevents the birds from flying out a window or a door if he gets scared or startled. And it’s also good because all the poop stays in one place. The other great advantages once the bird knows he can’t fly it will never go off your shoulder. So it’s all awesome every way you look at it. If you are someone whoWants to clip wings. If you don’t want to clip wings. I fully support you too. This is such a personal decision, it’s like politics and religion and favorite rock groups and anything else that people can form an opinion of. So I respect your opinion and I do appreciate your comment. Have a great day and if you get a chance watch my other videos. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie The process of wing clipping isn't painful but the aftermath is. It puts unnecessary strain on their muscles causing permanent damage, mental and physical health issues such as fatty liver disease, obesity, anxiety, depression, muscle atrophy, wing fusion and more. Flying with clipped wings is also painful, most clipped birds develop feather plucking habits from it and other self-harm obsessions. Clipping for training reasons is abuse and neglect. Trust takes patience and if the only reason your bird likes you is because it cannot escape you, that is the opposite of trust. If you are struggling with a bird who commonly runs into walls, you should try a slower approach and more direct desensitization training. There are so many other options you could do for your bird, and if this is what you choose, you are clearly not thinking hard enough. If you don't want your bird to fly you shouldn't get a BIRD.
Clipping is responsible and doesn’t hurt the bird when done right and it was done right in this vid maybe slightly rough but like he said towel would keep the bird calm he was just trying to show the camera

So… This video is not for you. Don’t follow the advice. Everybody needs to make their own choice and it sounds like you were against clipping wings, and in that case, that’s your choice and you’ve obviously considered the consequences of your bird flying out a window or a door And becoming lost.
@@jeffmaggie Your bird is gonna die of diseases and depression but sure okay. Obviously someone has no clue how to train birds if you think you have to clip them
Yes, they will be able to fly again. Clipping is done once a year usually in Nov or Dec after their new feathers grow back. Thanks for watching all my videos, Jeff
Yes, it does. Everything is just on a smaller scale. Remember to clip, then test flight, then clip again, then test flight. Keep doing that until the bird flys about 5 feet and lands softly. Good Luck!!!
This is a extremely unsafe way of doing this. Please consult an avian vet to properly train you how to clip your birds. I don’t recommend clipping, but in the case that it is for the safety of the parrot. Then sometimes it is necessary. The way this guy did it was extremely stressful to the parrot, and much too short. If you clip it that short, the bird will not have the ability to glide down, and will just fall hard on the ground. Most likely resulting in potential injuries. So please consult a vet before clipping your birds wings.
are you a vet because i personally go to a professional for my indian ring neck and since im stuck at home in quarantine i can't go there and i have to clip them on my own unless i want him to fly away again. he has already flown away once and was missing for three days and i would never want to live through that misery i went through. i have watched multiple videos and i think i know how to do it as my parents did it with our old bird and she was perfectly fine. (she actually ended up flying away and we have never seen her since, all because we didn't clip her wings) and if you are a vet for vet office (which i think you are) i et your just saying this to get sales because my professional vet with a license does it the same way with maybe even clipping 7-8 feathers.
Thanks for your comment, even though it was a little direct. I do understand it through many many ways to cope or a Twix and you’re right. Our bird was not in the best mood when we clipped his feathers and I debated whether I should turn the camera off and try again another day but we continue to this day. He’s really happy and he’s gotten used to the wings being clipped. And we gave a big note finished have a great day thanks for
Lola Vlogz I think we all understand where the birds purposes. Wildbird to Mint to fly freely wherever they want to go. I go for a day or two or even three without any food when you clean water. They also might be hunted by a lot of predators and might be I’m safe at night. Now, as far as birds their pets, you don’t want to let them fly outside because once they’re outside, they won’t be able to stay safe, find food and water, and send off predators. So I get what you’re saying about birds need to be wild. I agree with you. Wild birds need to be wild and they need to go and fly wherever they want to be, but if you have a bird is a pet, the last thing you wanted to do was get scared and flat window and over the fence. It’ll never come back and I will go up to the tallest tree and you’ll be sitting there very frustrated waiting for the bird to come down. And the bird won’t come down. So you’ve just lost a bird. Could be $10 to be $100 could be $1000, but to you it’s a family member. So we take this very seriously. We clip are birds feathers because we believe there are birds are part of our family. Just like we won’t let our children running the streets because it’s dangerous, we also won’t let our birds fly and clipped. Now you can also say that preventing children from running around in the front yard and Is limiting their freedom. But it’s a lot better than going to a funeral. Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving your comment. I do understand your point and I’m grateful that you left a message. Thank you and have a great day and stay safe and healthy. Jeff. Jeff
You should cover the bird with a thick cloth to keep him calm. The bird looks agitated. When you grab the bird down it remains a calm and you can be a bit more gentle. Also I leave 1 knuckle space from the covers for safety.
Thanks for your comment. We’ve tried towel and a towel method in the towel. Method works OK but it messes everything up. And he ends up looking like he went to the washing machine. So it’s much easier this way. He was agitated because we’re making a video. He’s usually much more calm than Kea. Thank you so much for leaving a comment in watching my videos. Have a great day. Jeff.
@@erzascarlet47 excellent point. I forgot to mention that, but the very very first part of the feather that comes out when the feathers a growing do contain blood and you can tell because you’re much darker. So please, if you’re gonna do this error on the side of caution and cut further out. Thanks for leaving this comment. And watching on my videos. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie that's why for safety I leave 2 finger gap. Sometimes blood feathers are also concealed in transparent tube like structure. Have you noticed? Never cut that. That's meant to protect the blood feather.
@@erzascarlet47 you are 100% correct you need to leave the gap. And the blood feathers are very important because if you clip them or cut them by mistake. And don’t get a quick stick on it quick enough, the bird can bleed out. So it’s very scary. Thanks for the comment. Thanks for watching my wife videos. Jeffrey oh my gosh I have to say
PhotographyJo- Taj Alami That’s a very good idea. It’s also a very safe and healthy idea. I don’t want to see your bird hit a wall or fly out a window by mistake. Thanks for watching all of my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
I think if you have a pet parrot, indoors, it's safer , so they don't get hurt. When my bird's wings are clipped, she can be out of her cage 24/7. When she can fly all through the apartment, she likes to get on top of my refrigerator and behind it are wooden cabinets that she can chew. Since I don't own this place, it's just better all around for her wings to be clipped. Thank you for sharing this video.
Perfectly said. I applied you 100%. Unfortunately, a lot of these comments are negative. But I’ve taken to responding to them in my own unique way by suggesting that if they had a pet goldfish, would they take it to the lake and let it out of the bowl and expected to return. But you’re right, keeping the birds wings clipped is not an issue for the bird and it’s a safety issue for us. Then we can take them outside and play. Thank you so much for leaving a positive comment. Have a great day. Jeff.
You are so welcome. I hope this helps. Remember, if you are not sure, take it to the vet or bird store. You want he bird to glide to the floor, not fall. If the bird gets lift or stays level for more than 5 feet, go back and clip one more feather off each side until the bird glides to the floor in about 5 feel. Good luck, safety, and health. Jeff
constance hobson Yeah, you got the idea. Your clip them just enough so they glide in front of land on the floor about 5 feet. You don’t want to clip them so they maintain level flight or a slight up draft. The fly right away if they get enough draft outside. Congratulations and continued success. Thank you for watching all my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
I’ve been doing this to my double yellow headed Amazon parrot for a long time now works very well and easy job to do and she is perfectly fine this doesn’t hurts them in no type of way thank you sir for your great information the only difference is I use a towel when I do my bird.

I See this video My imagination how if the bird be the man and the man be the bird then he will know how painful went he pulling the bird wind aggressively.....
I thought mine couldn’t fly I always took him outside with me and today he flew off me (in Chicago ) onto a high tree . I had to throw a broom at him and he took off like a wild parrot and flew like 100 feet down an alley . He landed and I was able to grab him thank God

Excellent, so glad that you enjoyed my video. And I’m glad your clip in the wings. That will ensure that your bird will never fly away by accident. Have a great day and thank you for watching all my videos. Jeff.
Adventures Of Valle Tage No torture, it’s like clipping fingernails and toenails and cutting hair. It only hurts if you pull it out. We’re not doing that. But I understand your concern. Birds are meant to fly and people are meant to walk. However birds can also survive quite well with their wings clipped. This gives them great to security and more confidence to stay fly around the house. Yes, our use the word fly because the birds can still fly in glide, they just can’t get any left. Hope this helps and have a great day. Thanks for leaving a comment Jeff.
Adventures Of Valle Tage So it’s not exactly quite like cutting your legs off. It’s more like somebody giving you really really tight jeans and you’re not able to run very fast and very far. But you won’t be able to hurt yourself by running into a wall or running away off property and down the street. You also won’t be able to climb a tree. So there are advantages. And if your jeans are tight enough, your owner will be able to run faster than you can. But that’s only if the bird is wearing jeans. Thanks for watching all the videos and have a great day. Jeff.
I am not against clipping parrot's wings but your way of doing it, I am sorry seems sloppy to me and dangerous. This isn't a very informative video. I do LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE your parrot and the barging. :-) Very cute Parrot. Sorry for my comment but just like Ells Aesthetic your way of clipping the wings isn't safe at all. Bronx, NY
Sorry, you are correct. This is not a very well-done video. As you probably know, you only get one chance to clip wings and then you have to wait 6 to 8 months to do it again. So I did the only option we had. He’s never comfortable doing this but I think being confined in a bathroom with the shower curtain closed in three or four people in the room with me he got nervous. I hope you get a chance to check out my other videos, have a great day and thanks for leaving your comment. Jeff.
Don’t reply too these sensitive idiot. You did it right but you forgot too tell the people whatever wings you clip make sure that they are evenly clipped on each side for example 4 on the left four on the right or three on the left three on the right and so on.... some birds don’t like they wings touched so it takes time with building a comfort zone. Some birds are comfortable too where you can do it with ease I’m glad my bird doesn’t mind his nails or wings clipped he’s a laid back green cheek. And it’s safer with the wings clipped. It gives the bird a slower and safer flight. Not a speedy flight too where if it was on the perch and a loud bang for example a pot hitting the floor may scare it and it evades because it got startled and rams himself into the wall mirror or window. These people are ignorant too the fact of this. But yea get a tripod and more detail on future vids. And the guideline was a great tip for the people too. We don’t want them cutting the wings that carry blood. That’s a fact. Peace bredren
Jada Mane Sorry, I replied to everybody, even if it’s very insensitive and cruel. I believe that everybody should have a right to free speech and as a result, you will see negative comments and people who are very upset with clipping bird feathers. And I get it. They’ve never had an experience with they’ve lost to bird before. As you know, birds are part of the family and we do that only to make sure they stay with us. It’s just like kids, we don’t let them run up the street and go to different neighborhoods are expected to come back when they’re only six years old. So I get what you’re saying, but I do need to leave all of the comments up just to keep everything equal. And obviously I don’t agree with anything but with everything but I have a very open minded I’m happy to welcomeComments that are different than mine. Thanks for watching all my videos and have a great day. Jeff.

@@Bambitiel I can’t stand RUclips .lol. My bird be on my shoulder as I ride bikes golf walk wings clipped he is very happy I never took him too a vet never needed too he loves fruits veggies and pellets he talk and dances with me and friends and family . I always trim his feathers and clip his feet he has a big cage in which I keep the door open even when I’m not at home he’s well trained he stays on his cage perch or in his cage free to go in and out . He loves watching tv and listening too music his name is zimi people give him compliments all the time so he’s not ugly . Everyone isn’t the same. Just as I’m not the same as you and my bird isnt the same as others I guess I’m just fortunate man in which people tell me I Am….
@@jadamane Most diseases listed sometimes cannot be seen by even you the owner. Regardless of the birds condition you should be taking it to the vet once a year.
@@jadamane You don't have to take my advice and it's sweet how much your bird does love you. But for future references I just hope you keep in mind the risks it could cause.
Merccurii It really doesn’t matter how close to the wing you cut the feathers. The whole point is to make sure that the bird doesn’t fly away. So we tested our bird several times and he only flies as hard as he can but Lance within about five or 6 feet and he gets no lift at all. Thanks for watching all my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
So I completely agree with you. In the fact that you’re justified in expressing your own opinion. Should these feathers have been cut back too far, I would not have uploaded the video. But I understand your point of you on wanting to leave the bird feathers alone. Everybody has their own expectations of what a bird canning cannot do once it flies up the front door and across the street. Some people think that the bird smart enough to come back home while others know that the bird will never come back home. Birds get scared just like we do. Loud noises. Certain movements. Quick movements. And if they happen to be next to an open window or door, they will fly out and there might not be able to recognize how they are able to get back. Especially if they’ve crossed over a fence or over a tall tree. So in that case, it would be very smart to go back in time and clip the feathers. Unless of course you think it’s better to lose a family member rather than should just put a little bit of security into it. We do the same thing with their dogs by putting them on a leash. We don’t want them to run away. Or get hit by a car. I know that’s a big difference a dog and a bird, but it’s the only thing I can think of right now. Have a great day and thanks so much for watching all my videos and even more thanks for leaving a comment. I do appreciate all feedback. Jeff.
yah i let my bird free fly and it flew away and now its dead. i got another bird about 3 years later and make sure to clip its wings regularly because it has already flown away once. it was gone for three days and thankfully came back. so wait to you get a bird or if your current bird flies away and see how you feel about free flying when your bird is dead. oh and btw it got out because i have sibling all under the age of 15 who are very ignorant and they left the back door open and didn't try to catch it when it got outside. we found it my bitterly posting on every social media, putting up flyers in a mile radius and informing the neighborhood
austin cardoz His biggest dangerous. But he is not. Nobody likes to get the fingernails cut and birds are no exception. Just remember to cut in the white part of the feather not the dark park near the base. And you'll be fine. Thanks for watching my video and thanks for commenting.
I have no problems with clipping birds wings but I need to suggest some things. I suggest you hold the bird's body and keep the wing out with your index finger and thumb, that way you won't be pulling on the bird. And you also cut too far up. You don't have to listen to my advice, but I would rather you did.
I completely agree with you. I feel so bad for his poor ADORABLE PARROT. I had to stop watching.
Feathers aren’t like hair. Your hair doesn’t affect your balance. Clipping is horrible
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I have had my Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot for 15 years. Up until now, I've always had someone to help the towel. So this will be the first time doing this by myself. Thanks again.
@@jeffmaggie , I was able to do one side. Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it.
Tracey Ryche White You’re very welcome. But I advise you, do not do just one side of the way through bird will fly in circles and get all confused. It sounds funny to read, but in reality it’s really sad. Because the bird just has no idea how to correct itself. But I’m glad you got one site down and done. Congratulations. If you feel like you are having trouble or you don’t want to do the other side, take your break to a vet or to a pet store. It’s really important that they have equal wings on both sides. I’m not getting down on you, rather the opposite. I’m pretty proud of you. :-) Thanks for thanks watching all the videos and have a great day. Just.
Man, that bird knows what the clippers are lol
I have the same problem, I've had mine for three years and they've become aware lol
That was painful to watch! I have no problem with wing clipping but your methods are agressive and clearly undesireable. So sad.
BEAUTY The Conure not as painful as you might imagine. He was more distracted by the phone recording then by actually clipping the feathers. But thanks for your concern, and thanks for watching my videos. Have a great day.
There's not really a better way to do it I mean he could've covered the bird with a towel but that might of freaked the bird out more
wings grow back like hair does . so if you have a bird that fly's into walls into windows ceiling fans ect. your telling me it's not safer for the bird to have them trimmed? they can still glide to floors or when landing. I personally don't trim my african greys wings cuz he's trained by my cockateils will fly into things . so keep her cooped up in cage cuz she fly's into stuff or cut wings so she can roam outside cage ? I choose cut her wings for her safety and health. this comment if for the people who says it's mean to cut feather or it's like cutting our legs off.
Klynne Bingo. You're absolutely correct. It doesn't hurt at all. It's like fingernails on here. And you're not clip in the birds feathers so it drops. Your clip in the birds feathers so they slide. You are correct 100%. Love you,. And thanks for commenting. Have a great day. Jeff.
Klynne PREACH
you don't know how much it impacts the bird health physicaly and mentaly.
The body of a bird is designed to fly. It has a respiratory system and muscle that are powerful and because of that it needs to be used.
Trimming wings make the bird unable to fly and so unable to do the important execice of flying for his body health.
That can cause the bird to gain weigh and a muscular atrophy what can result some illnessdue due to a lack of exercices.
The bird who can't fly anymore will also be stressed because he won't be able to do what he could always do( flying ). It will be very insecure on every perch because if it falls it falls and will lose confidence on itself and on it's owner.
I cut all the wings on my parakeets and they're happy as can be..they fly around in my house all the time..i leave their cage open and they come and go as they please..
Klynne it’s more of cutting the arms/legs than a haircut. It doesn’t give them enough exercise, and affects their mental health. He will also stop trusting you.
Thank you so much for this video!!! Your Amazonian is gorgeous and it seems you take good care of it ♥️
love the "steal your face" profile picture, haha. my grandma has the same breed of parrot. I'm getting my first little budgie this weekend and definitely plan on clipping his wings
✌️✌️✌️😀😀😀
My parrot passed away because a worker clipped her wing by holding her improperly and my bird twisted wrong and broke her wing badly. She ended up passing away in surgery on my birthday. A tragedy that could have been prevented by properly securing your bird during the clipping of its wings. Just something to think about
Oh my gosh, that sounds awful. I’m so sorry for the trauma that must’ve caused you. As you know, birds like animals and animals are like pets and pets are like family. I do agree with you 100% that it’s important to keep the birds mobile as possible and be very protective of the wing. Thanks for your comments and have a great day. Jeff.
Thank you for showing me this! My bird is scared of everything!! She flies when she panics!
You’re very welcome Tiffany. I’m glad this video helped. If you are unable to clip the wings comfortably, you can take him or her to a vet or even to a pet store. And once you see how they do it, you’ll be able to do it on your own. Or maybe you can just look at the video to her three times, I’m not really sure what would help you the best. But I am a strong supporter of clip in the wings because we lost our first period. We thought it was really cool for it to us fly around in the house and go from curtain to chair to other objects. And then one day the window was open like it always was and a bookshelf fell over in the bird got scared and flew out the window and we never saw her again. It was realReally tragic. So have a great day, good luck, and thank you so much for watching all my videos. Jeff.
Oh thanks God that you clipped only 5 feathers like I did with my budgie because he was hurting himself on the top of my wardrobe... I will let them regrow.
Parrots just looking at his hand gestures like 👁👄👁
That parrot got mad af
Keith Jackson You are absolutely correct Keith. That they repair did not want to have a twin is clipped. But she managed to get through it OK. The other time she’s been OK. I think she might’ve been freaked out a little bit by the video. There was me my wife and my granddaughter all in that little tiny bathroom and I think he freaked out sort of. Thanks for watching all the videos and have a great day. And also thanks for leaving a comment. Stay safe and healthy. Jeff.
They can't glide away from predators or other accidents
Fortunately, there aren’t any predators inside ones house. And as far as being outside, you should never let your bird outside whether it’s clipped or not clipped. Unless it’s in a cage. And that’s not because it’ll fly way, but you’re right it’s because of predators. But it sounds to me like you’re not a fan of clipping bird feathers. So let me just give you an example or an analogy that I’ve been using, and I think it makes sense. We clip birds feathers so they don’t accidentally fly away. And so they don’t bump into objects in the house, or bang into windows. It’s the same principle as taking care of your goldfish. You wouldn’t take your goldfish to a lake let it out and then expected to swim back to the bowl. Thanks for watching my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
@jeffmaggie no you're analogy is more like clip the tipof the fins off the fish they will grow back but untill they do they can't swim properly and won't bump into the tank walls and if it went into a pond it would be even more of an issue. . Maybe you need to stick to non flying creatures maybe get a chicken...... flight is important for physical amd mental health in birds
Thanks so much for making this. I need to cut my Indian Ringneck's wings back, and I haven't done it in a while. I needed a refresher course; this was just perfect.
I think your Amazon was actually very well behaved. I've seen what a really angry Amazon can do, and your guy was just fussing a bit. Both of y'all did fine. 😊
How you buy indian ringneck parrot plz tell me
She / he is adorable
Beautiful bird. What kind of parrot is it? And how much they cost?
Blue fronted Amazon and can range up to $3,000
I've had my Amazon fly into windows so many times and I feel so bad about it and I'd love to take her on walks outside if I knew she couldn't fly away so I think I'm gonna try clipping her wings today I've always wanted to have a professional do it first but I just can't get my mom to take to the vet with me and I've had her for almost 2 years she needs her beak trimmed and nails trimmed as well but I don't think I can do that
I’m really glad you’re taking a health interest in your bird. As you know, it’s not very fun to run into a window. And if there’s an open window, you’re out of luck because you’re bored of flyway not know how to get that. So I applaud you for getting your birds that is Cliff either by professionals or by you. It’s not that hard. I don’t know if you have a parent or a parakeet. I have another video that has a parakeet on it. But either way, you need to do the outside three or four wings on it you need to do the outside 34 feathers on each side. Good luck and let me know how it went. Your friend, Jeff
will it grow back if we cut the primary wings
Guys Can I explain step 1 don't clip birds WINGS step 2 they can cause infections I mean what if you don't know what the blood feathers are and the secondary WINGS and they might bleed so please don't do it my bird was so depressed and step 3 they will fall heavily and crash and get hurt step 4 birds can still escape and play cause they will catch a breeze so this it no clipping birds WINGS
My blue and gold macaw is fully flighted and has always been since he was a baby because I love him and if he did get out I'd have some relief knowing he could fly instead of getting killed by a cat or bird of prey, an easy better solution to this is teaching your parrot simple recall this way if they get out they will have the training and skills to come back, my macaw is free flight trained so I can let him fly free outside and he Is trained to come back aka free flight
OK, so this works for you. I’m very happy. Please listen carefully, this video is not for you. I repeat this video is not for you. You will never ever be happy if you clip your birds wings. And your bird is smarter than all the other birds to know where it lives. So for that I’m grateful. Continued success in keeping your bird full flighted as this video is only for people who have normal birds that will fly out a window or a door. And you’re right, nobody wants to get eaten by a cat or animal, but if you keep your flight feathers full, the bird might get scared, not your bird, but other people‘s Berg. So this video is really for the other people and I’m so sorry that you happen to cross against cross along this video. I wish you nothing but absolute continued success with your full flighted Bird and may you enjoy a happy healthy life with him or her. Thanks for watching my video. Jeff.
YOU ARE CLIPPING THE FEATHERS WRONG, YOU ARE CUTTING THE 1-4 AND THOSE ARE THE DIRECTION FEATHERS, YOU HAVE TO CUT THE 5-8 (THE RED ONES) BECAUSE THAT FEATHERS HELP THE PARROT FLY UP (SO THE BIRD CANT FLY TO THE SKY BUT AT LEAST HE CAN FLY NICELY TO THE FLOOR AND SAFE) AND IF YOU REALY LOVE YOUR BIRD YOU SHOULD BUILD AN AVIARY
Thanks for your comment. I do appreciate you leaving it. And I’m sure there’s more than one way to do this, but I found it by clip in the outer for it works very well for me. The outer for feathers for the flight feathers. You can tell this because when the bird has his wings tucked in you don’t notice any color disruption in the feathers. So I clip my birds feathers so they glide in a downward position as hard as they can fly and land about 5 feet in front. Doing any less would allow them to keep level flight and take it vantage of an updraft. But I like your way too. Thanks for leaving your comment, even though it’s all in capital letters. I’m assuming that you’re angry with me. And for that I apologize. I would keep clipping your feathers the same way you’ve been clipping them. You seem to have really good success with that and I support people that have good success with their animals. Have a wonderful day, take care, and thanks for watching all my videos. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie 4 years ago i cut some feather wings to my red lored amazon and put her in a mango tree but she hit the floor very hard and i didnt know how to do it and she think i can fly but she can die if hit the floor hard and a cat can kill her because she cant escape but one time it was a cat and she flu and landed 10 mts away from the cat and i rescued her and sorry for my english but i speak spanish and i learned how to do it from a veterinary and you can watch the video if you want RECORTE DE PLUMAS A UN LORO - VETERINARIO ONLINE ruclips.net/video/J5qxncp4dqo/видео.html in the minute 3:30 start explaining how to do it and then save to build a big aviary and now she is happy flying. AND HAVE A NICE DAY
CES Don’t worry about your English, it’s perfect. I understand everything you said. I’m trying to speak Spanish and that’s pretty hard. So I give you a lot of credit for speaking English. I agree there are many ways to do this. The way I found seems to be the best for me. For me, the idea is not to give her the opportunity to have level flight. But also you don’t want to cut the wings so the bird falls on the ground. What you’re looking for is it gentle dissent down to the ground in about 5 feet. The land on their feet are on the chest but at least they won’t fly out the window. I’d Meyer the fact that you worked in the veterinary clinic and I appreciate your advice. I will check out your link. Thank you for the kind comment in the advice and have a great day. And remember, your English is great. Bye, Jeff
Lol my amazon could NEVER, my arm is already bleeding just thinking about clippin his wings kajdjjd
I’ll tell you how to do it perfect every time..you just don’t
Hi Cody, you’re right, many people do not like to clip their wings. And as long as you keep all the doors and windows closed, you’re in great shape. Oh the other thing is you need to carry Clorox wipes with you because the bird will poop everywhere in the house it lands. So clip in the wings is really good because it prevents the birds from flying out a window or a door if he gets scared or startled. And it’s also good because all the poop stays in one place. The other great advantages once the bird knows he can’t fly it will never go off your shoulder. So it’s all awesome every way you look at it. If you are someone whoWants to clip wings. If you don’t want to clip wings. I fully support you too. This is such a personal decision, it’s like politics and religion and favorite rock groups and anything else that people can form an opinion of. So I respect your opinion and I do appreciate your comment. Have a great day and if you get a chance watch my other videos. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie The process of wing clipping isn't painful but the aftermath is. It puts unnecessary strain on their muscles causing permanent damage, mental and physical health issues such as fatty liver disease, obesity, anxiety, depression, muscle atrophy, wing fusion and more. Flying with clipped wings is also painful, most clipped birds develop feather plucking habits from it and other self-harm obsessions. Clipping for training reasons is abuse and neglect. Trust takes patience and if the only reason your bird likes you is because it cannot escape you, that is the opposite of trust. If you are struggling with a bird who commonly runs into walls, you should try a slower approach and more direct desensitization training. There are so many other options you could do for your bird, and if this is what you choose, you are clearly not thinking hard enough. If you don't want your bird to fly you shouldn't get a BIRD.
My new bird now hates me after the triming
Clipping is responsible and doesn’t hurt the bird when done right and it was done right in this vid maybe slightly rough but like he said towel would keep the bird calm he was just trying to show the camera

This is so wrong. This poor bird. Their wings will become weak and so many more problems. Do your reasurch
So… This video is not for you. Don’t follow the advice. Everybody needs to make their own choice and it sounds like you were against clipping wings, and in that case, that’s your choice and you’ve obviously considered the consequences of your bird flying out a window or a door And becoming lost.
@@jeffmaggie Your bird is gonna die of diseases and depression but sure okay. Obviously someone has no clue how to train birds if you think you have to clip them
This is not way to cut the feather of a parrot you are not handling in proper way
You don’t do it like that omfd ur doing it wrong you have to be gentle
Wait so if they grow back can it fly? Plz answer
Yes, they will be able to fly again. Clipping is done once a year usually in Nov or Dec after their new feathers grow back. Thanks for watching all my videos, Jeff
jeffmaggie my name's not Jeff D:<
OK the for da information u need some likes and subs
My bad...should have said "Thanks for watching all my videos.
Kind regards, Jeff"
jeffmaggie Forgot to ask, does it work on cockatiels?
Yes, it does. Everything is just on a smaller scale. Remember to clip, then test flight, then clip again, then test flight. Keep doing that until the bird flys about 5 feet and lands softly. Good Luck!!!
Thank u sooooo much
This is a extremely unsafe way of doing this. Please consult an avian vet to properly train you how to clip your birds. I don’t recommend clipping, but in the case that it is for the safety of the parrot. Then sometimes it is necessary. The way this guy did it was extremely stressful to the parrot, and much too short. If you clip it that short, the bird will not have the ability to glide down, and will just fall hard on the ground. Most likely resulting in potential injuries. So please consult a vet before clipping your birds wings.
are you a vet because i personally go to a professional for my indian ring neck and since im stuck at home in quarantine i can't go there and i have to clip them on my own unless i want him to fly away again. he has already flown away once and was missing for three days and i would never want to live through that misery i went through. i have watched multiple videos and i think i know how to do it as my parents did it with our old bird and she was perfectly fine. (she actually ended up flying away and we have never seen her since, all because we didn't clip her wings) and if you are a vet for vet office (which i think you are) i et your just saying this to get sales because my professional vet with a license does it the same way with maybe even clipping 7-8 feathers.
that was upsetting to watch. I own many birds and would NEVER do it that way.
Thanks for your comment, even though it was a little direct. I do understand it through many many ways to cope or a Twix and you’re right. Our bird was not in the best mood when we clipped his feathers and I debated whether I should turn the camera off and try again another day but we continue to this day. He’s really happy and he’s gotten used to the wings being clipped. And we gave a big note finished have a great day thanks for
There are some pros and cons to this but don't take away the ability of what a birds whole purpose is.
Lola Vlogz I think we all understand where the birds purposes. Wildbird to Mint to fly freely wherever they want to go. I go for a day or two or even three without any food when you clean water. They also might be hunted by a lot of predators and might be I’m safe at night. Now, as far as birds their pets, you don’t want to let them fly outside because once they’re outside, they won’t be able to stay safe, find food and water, and send off predators. So I get what you’re saying about birds need to be wild. I agree with you. Wild birds need to be wild and they need to go and fly wherever they want to be, but if you have a bird is a pet, the last thing you wanted to do was get scared and flat window and over the fence. It’ll never come back and I will go up to the tallest tree and you’ll be sitting there very frustrated waiting for the bird to come down. And the bird won’t come down. So you’ve just lost a bird. Could be $10 to be $100 could be $1000, but to you it’s a family member. So we take this very seriously. We clip are birds feathers because we believe there are birds are part of our family. Just like we won’t let our children running the streets because it’s dangerous, we also won’t let our birds fly and clipped. Now you can also say that preventing children from running around in the front yard and Is limiting their freedom. But it’s a lot better than going to a funeral. Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving your comment. I do understand your point and I’m grateful that you left a message. Thank you and have a great day and stay safe and healthy. Jeff. Jeff
You should cover the bird with a thick cloth to keep him calm. The bird looks agitated. When you grab the bird down it remains a calm and you can be a bit more gentle. Also I leave 1 knuckle space from the covers for safety.
Thanks for your comment. We’ve tried towel and a towel method in the towel. Method works OK but it messes everything up. And he ends up looking like he went to the washing machine. So it’s much easier this way. He was agitated because we’re making a video. He’s usually much more calm than Kea. Thank you so much for leaving a comment in watching my videos. Have a great day. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie Ure welcome :). Watch out for blood feathers always. Those things are sneaky.
@@erzascarlet47 excellent point. I forgot to mention that, but the very very first part of the feather that comes out when the feathers a growing do contain blood and you can tell because you’re much darker. So please, if you’re gonna do this error on the side of caution and cut further out. Thanks for leaving this comment. And watching on my videos. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie that's why for safety I leave 2 finger gap. Sometimes blood feathers are also concealed in transparent tube like structure. Have you noticed? Never cut that. That's meant to protect the blood feather.
@@erzascarlet47 you are 100% correct you need to leave the gap. And the blood feathers are very important because if you clip them or cut them by mistake. And don’t get a quick stick on it quick enough, the bird can bleed out. So it’s very scary. Thanks for the comment. Thanks for watching my wife videos. Jeffrey oh my gosh I have to say
I’m not against this, but you kinda did it wrong..
I want to clip it to avoid it from hitting the windows or walls in the house
PhotographyJo- Taj Alami That’s a very good idea. It’s also a very safe and healthy idea. I don’t want to see your bird hit a wall or fly out a window by mistake. Thanks for watching all of my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
Thanks 🙏
Thanks
Muito lindo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼,
Abraço 🤗
I think if you have a pet parrot, indoors, it's safer , so they don't get hurt. When my bird's wings are clipped, she can be out of her cage 24/7. When she can fly all through the apartment, she likes to get on top of my refrigerator and behind it are wooden cabinets that she can chew. Since I don't own this place, it's just better all around for her wings to be clipped. Thank you for sharing this video.
Perfectly said. I applied you 100%. Unfortunately, a lot of these comments are negative. But I’ve taken to responding to them in my own unique way by suggesting that if they had a pet goldfish, would they take it to the lake and let it out of the bowl and expected to return. But you’re right, keeping the birds wings clipped is not an issue for the bird and it’s a safety issue for us. Then we can take them outside and play. Thank you so much for leaving a positive comment. Have a great day. Jeff.
Omg thanks so much
You are so welcome. I hope this helps. Remember, if you are not sure, take it to the vet or bird store. You want he bird to glide to the floor, not fall. If the bird gets lift or stays level for more than 5 feet, go back and clip one more feather off each side until the bird glides to the floor in about 5 feel. Good luck, safety, and health. Jeff
jeffmaggie it did help but my bird already glides to the floor but just to make sure
constance hobson Yeah, you got the idea. Your clip them just enough so they glide in front of land on the floor about 5 feet. You don’t want to clip them so they maintain level flight or a slight up draft. The fly right away if they get enough draft outside. Congratulations and continued success. Thank you for watching all my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
what kinda parrot is him?
He's a Blue Fronted Amazon parrot, 10 years old and glides to the floor effortlessly. Thanks for watching my videos.
+Lysol Bleach He's a blue front Amazon. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching my videos.
Hi Jeff. I have a Blue Fronted as well that I adopted. I need advice for various reasons that I’d rather not put on an open forum. Thanks.
I’ve been doing this to my double yellow headed Amazon parrot for a long time now works very well and easy job to do and she is perfectly fine this doesn’t hurts them in no type of way thank you sir for your great information the only difference is I use a towel when I do my bird.
That is awesome!
Also stops them flying into the windows aswell, people don't realise they feel nothing , but come on next time hold the bird x

I See this video My imagination how if the bird be the man and the man be the bird then he will know how painful went he pulling the bird wind aggressively.....
I thought mine couldn’t fly I always took him outside with me and today he flew off me (in Chicago ) onto a high tree . I had to throw a broom at him and he took off like a wild parrot and flew like 100 feet down an alley . He landed and I was able to grab him thank God
You don’t deserve a bird you are a bad owner.
Clipping the parrots wings open the door to so many different activities you otherwise most likely wouldn't have been able to do.

@@augusttuttle Yes of course you can! Glad to help spread the word around.
Could have towel the bird
This is very inhumaine a parrot should not be Owned and should live In the wild nor get there own wings clipped there meant to fly 😂
Thank you, you helped alot, i dont want to lose my parrots, so i clip thier wings too.
Excellent, so glad that you enjoyed my video. And I’m glad your clip in the wings. That will ensure that your bird will never fly away by accident. Have a great day and thank you for watching all my videos. Jeff.
@@jeffmaggie Clipped birds can still catch gusts of winds and escape if they're spooked enough. So it's still utterly useless
ty :D
Sifi0142 Thanks, it’s pretty sad when she could think of it. Thanks for watching my videos.
DON’T CLIP THE WINGS!!! It is like cutting a humans legs. This is torture
Adventures Of Valle Tage No torture, it’s like clipping fingernails and toenails and cutting hair. It only hurts if you pull it out. We’re not doing that. But I understand your concern. Birds are meant to fly and people are meant to walk. However birds can also survive quite well with their wings clipped. This gives them great to security and more confidence to stay fly around the house. Yes, our use the word fly because the birds can still fly in glide, they just can’t get any left. Hope this helps and have a great day. Thanks for leaving a comment Jeff.
Adventures Of Valle Tage 👍🏻 Yes...
jeffmaggie imagine waking up with no legs. Even if it didnt hurt its mental torture.
SladdyHD ✌️
Adventures Of Valle Tage So it’s not exactly quite like cutting your legs off. It’s more like somebody giving you really really tight jeans and you’re not able to run very fast and very far. But you won’t be able to hurt yourself by running into a wall or running away off property and down the street. You also won’t be able to climb a tree. So there are advantages. And if your jeans are tight enough, your owner will be able to run faster than you can. But that’s only if the bird is wearing jeans. Thanks for watching all the videos and have a great day. Jeff.
I am not against clipping parrot's wings but your way of doing it, I am sorry seems sloppy to me and dangerous. This isn't a very informative video. I do LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE your parrot and the barging. :-) Very cute Parrot. Sorry for my comment but just like Ells Aesthetic your way of clipping the wings isn't safe at all. Bronx, NY
Sorry, you are correct. This is not a very well-done video. As you probably know, you only get one chance to clip wings and then you have to wait 6 to 8 months to do it again. So I did the only option we had. He’s never comfortable doing this but I think being confined in a bathroom with the shower curtain closed in three or four people in the room with me he got nervous. I hope you get a chance to check out my other videos, have a great day and thanks for leaving your comment. Jeff.
Don’t reply too these sensitive idiot. You did it right but you forgot too tell the people whatever wings you clip make sure that they are evenly clipped on each side for example 4 on the left four on the right or three on the left three on the right and so on.... some birds don’t like they wings touched so it takes time with building a comfort zone. Some birds are comfortable too where you can do it with ease I’m glad my bird doesn’t mind his nails or wings clipped he’s a laid back green cheek. And it’s safer with the wings clipped. It gives the bird a slower and safer flight. Not a speedy flight too where if it was on the perch and a loud bang for example a pot hitting the floor may scare it and it evades because it got startled and rams himself into the wall mirror or window. These people are ignorant too the fact of this. But yea get a tripod and more detail on future vids. And the guideline was a great tip for the people too. We don’t want them cutting the wings that carry blood. That’s a fact. Peace bredren
Jada Mane Sorry, I replied to everybody, even if it’s very insensitive and cruel. I believe that everybody should have a right to free speech and as a result, you will see negative comments and people who are very upset with clipping bird feathers. And I get it. They’ve never had an experience with they’ve lost to bird before. As you know, birds are part of the family and we do that only to make sure they stay with us. It’s just like kids, we don’t let them run up the street and go to different neighborhoods are expected to come back when they’re only six years old. So I get what you’re saying, but I do need to leave all of the comments up just to keep everything equal. And obviously I don’t agree with anything but with everything but I have a very open minded I’m happy to welcomeComments that are different than mine. Thanks for watching all my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
The process of wing clipping isn't painful but the aftermath is. It puts unnecessary strain on their muscles causing permanent damage, mental and physical health issues such as fatty liver disease, obesity, anxiety, depression, muscle atrophy, wing fusion and more. Flying with clipped wings is also painful, most clipped birds develop feather plucking habits from it and other self-harm obsessions. Clipping for training reasons is abuse and neglect. Trust takes patience and if the only reason your bird likes you is because it cannot escape you, that is the opposite of trust. If you are struggling with a bird who commonly runs into walls, you should try a slower approach and more direct desensitization training. There are so many other options you could do for your bird, and if this is what you choose, you are clearly not thinking hard enough. If you don't want your bird to fly you shouldn't get a BIRD.
Not to mention it makes your bird look ugly as shit but yk
@@Bambitiel I can’t stand RUclips .lol. My bird be on my shoulder as I ride bikes golf walk wings clipped he is very happy I never took him too a vet never needed too he loves fruits veggies and pellets he talk and dances with me and friends and family . I always trim his feathers and clip his feet he has a big cage in which I keep the door open even when I’m not at home he’s well trained he stays on his cage perch or in his cage free to go in and out . He loves watching tv and listening too music his name is zimi people give him compliments all the time so he’s not ugly . Everyone isn’t the same. Just as I’m not the same as you and my bird isnt the same as others I guess I’m just fortunate man in which people tell me I Am….
@@jadamane Most diseases listed sometimes cannot be seen by even you the owner. Regardless of the birds condition you should be taking it to the vet once a year.
@@jadamane You don't have to take my advice and it's sweet how much your bird does love you. But for future references I just hope you keep in mind the risks it could cause.
TOO HIGH UP!!,!
Merccurii It really doesn’t matter how close to the wing you cut the feathers. The whole point is to make sure that the bird doesn’t fly away. So we tested our bird several times and he only flies as hard as he can but Lance within about five or 6 feet and he gets no lift at all. Thanks for watching all my videos and have a great day. Jeff.
Ur going to high omddddddd
Your method is terrible you clipped them way to much but I still think birds should be able to free fly it's much better
So I completely agree with you. In the fact that you’re justified in expressing your own opinion. Should these feathers have been cut back too far, I would not have uploaded the video. But I understand your point of you on wanting to leave the bird feathers alone. Everybody has their own expectations of what a bird canning cannot do once it flies up the front door and across the street. Some people think that the bird smart enough to come back home while others know that the bird will never come back home. Birds get scared just like we do. Loud noises. Certain movements. Quick movements. And if they happen to be next to an open window or door, they will fly out and there might not be able to recognize how they are able to get back. Especially if they’ve crossed over a fence or over a tall tree. So in that case, it would be very smart to go back in time and clip the feathers. Unless of course you think it’s better to lose a family member rather than should just put a little bit of security into it. We do the same thing with their dogs by putting them on a leash. We don’t want them to run away. Or get hit by a car. I know that’s a big difference a dog and a bird, but it’s the only thing I can think of right now. Have a great day and thanks so much for watching all my videos and even more thanks for leaving a comment. I do appreciate all feedback. Jeff.
yah i let my bird free fly and it flew away and now its dead. i got another bird about 3 years later and make sure to clip its wings regularly because it has already flown away once. it was gone for three days and thankfully came back. so wait to you get a bird or if your current bird flies away and see how you feel about free flying when your bird is dead. oh and btw it got out because i have sibling all under the age of 15 who are very ignorant and they left the back door open and didn't try to catch it when it got outside. we found it my bitterly posting on every social media, putting up flyers in a mile radius and informing the neighborhood
looks dangerous .
austin cardoz His biggest dangerous. But he is not. Nobody likes to get the fingernails cut and birds are no exception. Just remember to cut in the white part of the feather not the dark park near the base. And you'll be fine. Thanks for watching my video and thanks for commenting.
i have this 4 budgies i have clipped their wing but still they bite when i try to touch them any recommendations what should i do ?
austin cardoz Just keep doing what you're doing. The bites will heal in a. Few days, but your bird will be lost forever 😂. Thanks for the comments.
Wings are not fingernails.
Yep, That's right, but they also don't have nerves either. Only the dark part at the base. Just like hair. Thanks for watching my videos.
